"Why do Floyd fans hate GGG so much?" Where does this logic come from?

Getting something in boxing requires doing things you don't really want to do, I haven't seen anything like those steps from that team. You have to force situations, not be content.
Don't respond to me if you ain't got nothing to say, but some parakeet stuff~

How you can criticise Mayweather for not fighting a great fighter in the prime and then mention Chavez beating Taylor is beyond me.
Did Taylor have talent to be great? Yes. Did he achieve greatness? Clearly not. Is he even hall of fame? doubtful.
BTW how can I not mention Chavez he is considered one of the greatest fighters in boxing history. He is usually ranked in the top 15-20 fighters of all time. And there is 0 argument about Chavez being an ATG unlike your hero Floyd, who most people do not even rank him in the top 50 of all time. If u like I can mention Chavez vs Whitaker, who was in his prime when they fought. And the point of my post was not favoritism for a certain fighter, it does not matter who won. The point is 2 fighters in their prime daring to be great and not making any excuses as to why they refuse to fight each other. BTW Chavez 87-0 is far more impressive and superior to Mayweather's 48-0. Mayweather had to go about his career in the way I described in my previous post in order to get to 48-0, Chavez did not, he took on all comers and he did not pitty-pat and run his way to victory he attacked and took the hearts of his opponents.Last edited by jdp28tx; 05-16-2015, 10:23 AM.

I'm thinking more about guys like Froch. Froch vs GGG would be an excellent fight and if all Froch wants is a big payday then give it to him.

What GGG is going through isn't some new phenomenon. Look, maybe he becomes like Hopkins, sticking around and finally getting that big fight at 36. If he were to do that and win impressively, all must rise and applaud.
But as of now, it doesn't seem like Alvarez (the closest to the Tito analogy) is interested in the fight. Tito was trying to fight Roy Jones. Huge difference from what Team Alvarez is saying.
So what's it going to be? I'd love to see GGG move up, fight a 168lb contender than perhaps Ward. What's so bad about that fight? Better than Monroe, if you ask me. I must not be a boxing fan.

Out of the whole post that is the only thing u can argue against and it is not even a well laid out argument. How does mentioning Chavez fighting Taylor negate the fact that Mayweather has not fought any great fighters in their prime?? I will tell you, it does not negate that fact. I can also counter and say Taylor was a gold medalist, he was a legit 140lb champ at the prime of his career and most people thought he would go on to greatness and he had the skills and potential to do just that, but Chavez ruined him in that fight. Even though Chavez beat him so badly he still went on to win another title in another division (welterweight). He had the guts to dare to be great by fighting Chavez and then taking on a much bigger, stronger Terry Norris. No way would Floyd take such a risk and Norris would of probably butchered Floyd. My point is Taylor was at his peak in skills, he had great skills, fastest fighter I have ever seen and his amateur pedigree (winner of gold medal unlike Floyd who only won a bronze) was 2nd to none. He had won a major title in his 21st fight against a very good Buddy McGirt.

Honestly the reason i only picked out Chavez-Taylor and nothing else is because that was the main thing that stuck out. I noticed you posted this in another thread, probably should have replied there instead. But since you took the time to reply...
Long story short to your points:
- Mentioning his gold medal or 'amateur pedigree' don't make him any greater as a pro and it's hard pressed to even consider Taylor hall of fame let alone ATG despite his talent.
- Most people do rank Floyd top 50 all time, i don't know what lists you look at.
- Feel free to mention Whitaker, Chavez was schooled in that fight and got a gift draw .
-87-0... first 42 fights were nobodies ( i understand due to his limited amateur background but doesn't change the fact they were nobodies) and he beat ONE hall of famer during those 87 fights, so superior.

You purposely make his about Chavez, when my post was not about him. I mentioned a dozen other fighters and the circumstances when they fought and who they fought. You want to focus on one fighter I mentioned because u cannot argue the merits of my post. You have some ridiculous belief that if u say ****ty things about Chavez it will upset me or something. But, this is not about one fighter,if you want to continue to discuss an aspect I am not arguing and an aspect u are making up in order to have an argument against yourself then go ahead. And I guess u think your use of smiley face emoticons makes your argument stronger. People who use smiley face emoticons are either children, have the mental capacity of a child due to mental ******ation,or they are just plain morons. My guess is your are the rare person that meets all 3.
But since u refuse to argue or counter the numerous points I have made discussing Ali, Leonard, Bowe, Toney, Holyfield, Roy Jones, etc. Then it is obvious I won the day.Last edited by jdp28tx; 05-16-2015, 10:52 AM.
